(2020) Point/Counterpoint. Low-dose radiation as a treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia: A threat or real opportunity? Med Phys. pp. 3773-3776. ISSN 0094-2405 (Print) 0094-2405

Abstract
Low‐dose radiation is known to induce anti‐inflammatory responses and has been historically used for treating infectious diseases such as pneumonia. As the outbreak of COVID‐19 continues globally and effective treatment methods are lacking, low‐dose radiation has drawn increasing attention recently. While some are optimistic about the clinical adoption of low‐dose radiation for the treatment of COVID‐19, others have significant concerns about its effectiveness and safety. This is the premise debated in this month's Point/Counterpoint.
